Oh, Syria, I hope you’re OK.
Specifically, Syrians, I hope you’re OK. Every one of you I’ve met has been charming and kind and gracious…and sometimes a bit of a ham.
Much love to a beautiful country, and beautiful people.

Peter added a few more photos on his blog, along with the story of the bike man.
Thank you for this. Lovely and sad.
Glad you liked, Maria! Sad indeed. The first time I went to Syria, in 1999, I remember thinking, I hope nothing bad ever happens to these people. But…given the country’s location and leadership, the odds weren’t good.
